A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers,
consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch.

Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout.  This
prevents further commands from failing after a timeout.

Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs.  This
lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime.

Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed
to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around.  The BT driver had caught this, but
didn't know how to fix it.  Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for
time.

Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5
seconds.  This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a
"Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to
handle another command yet.

Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console.

Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s.  This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650
and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without
timing out.

Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC.  This also
prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change.  This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release.  There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).

The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use.  This is bad from a number of points of view.  This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.

Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>

Performance testing from Seelam:

I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS.  I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).

I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9.  Only a single processor is used for
the experiments.  I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.

Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading  one Linux source trees using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.

Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:

             AS                     Nick          Seelam
ex1:      0m25.813s               0m27.859s      0m27.640s
ex2:      1m11.468s               1m13.918s      1m5.869s
ex3:      81m44.352s             10m38.572s      6m47.994s

The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist.  (akpm: that's not part of this patch.  So this patch is
"Nick").

The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch
statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures.
This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as
arch_ptrace.

Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations.  For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

The code for FUTEX_WAKE_OP calls an arch callback,
futex_atomic_op_inuser().  That callback can return an error code, but
currently the caller assumes any error is EFAULT, and will try various
things to resolve the fault before eventually giving up with EFAULT
(regardless of the original error code).  This is not a theoretical case -
arch callbacks currently return -ENOSYS if the opcode they are given is
bogus.

This patch alters the code to detect non-EFAULT errors and return them
directly to the user.

Of course, whether -ENOSYS is the correct return value for the bogus opcode
case, or whether EINVAL would be more appropriate is another question.

AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before
testing if that resulting total was over the global limit.  This let
innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task
that was crossing the limit.  This serializes the _nr accounting with a
spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals.
Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of
requests by the syscall interface.

The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating
and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context.
Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN
if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the
limit.

placed in memory below a cretain address.  This address is by default 128K
but can change.  The driver now can accept the memory floor if the user
chooses to make it will try to allocate contiguous physical memory above
the memory floor by allocating a set of packets till a valid memory
allocation is made.  All the allocates then are freed.  This repeats for

You should convert your device driver over to the replacement dynamic platform

	if (pdev) {

		if (err == 0)

		if (err == 0)
